My life is amazing - i am so blessed.
i'm sitting here in mallorca at 11pm, in a hostel room with two good friends laughing and reminicing about the past couple days, yesterday i onsighted one of the most classic, climbs in the world 'Buf' a rarely onsighted 30 metre 7a+ (5.12a) tufa route which took my breath away before i even hopped on it - a piece of rock that is literally a gift from God.
Today, our rest day, we got a super cheap deal on scuba diving, something i've always wanted to try, and did that enjoyed it so much, playing in the underwater world, then sat on the beach and drank sangria in the warm sun all evening...
i have had so many of these amazing experiences and they keep adding up - great people, friends, the outdoors, culture, travel, life ever anew, constant surprises, constant joys, constant trials and challenges, and its all part of this beautiful journey.
Last week, I was in California, asking the love of my life to become my wife, the girl who has been my life partner in so much of this beautiful journey - now this week, i'm back in europe, charging forward into wonderful interactions with some of the most beautiful parts of God's good earth,
i've travelled more in the last month than most people get to do in a lifetime, i just sometimes can't believe this life is mine and its so great - some people never leave their home town and i have done this much in the first 25 years of my life...and I strive for more, to charge hard in the things i love in...travel, language, climbing, skiing, political influence, teaching, writing, and teaching others to love learning and life as much as i do - times like these pull me through the moments when i feel lost, like my life talent is adrift and wasted they offer me perspective and gratefulness at how wonderful this life is, and what we have all been given by our maker.
Today people, take a breath of air and realize, this journey is only yours, no one else will live your life - this is your path, your breath, your view and your surroundings, every decision you have made and not made has led you to this point...Embrace it!
